Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Ecology and Evolution of Cancer is a timely work outlining ideas
that not only represent a substantial and original contribution to
the fields of evolution, ecology, and cancer, but also goes beyond
by connecting the interfaces of these disciplines. This work
engages the expertise of a multidisciplinary research team to
collate and review the latest knowledge and developments in this
exciting research field. The evolutionary perspective of cancer has
gained significant international recognition and interest, which is
fully understandable given that somatic cellular selection and
evolution are elegant explanations for carcinogenesis. Cancer is
now generally accepted to be an evolutionary and ecological process
with complex interactions between tumor cells and their environment
sharing many similarities with organismal evolution. As a critical
contribution to this field of research the book is important and
relevant for the applications of evolutionary biology to understand
the origin of cancers, to control neoplastic progression, and to
prevent therapeutic failures.
